A French Philosopher laid down
three rules for the attainment of hap
piness. The first was occupation;
the second, occupation; and the
third, occupation. 1t develop, your
mental and physical powers You
were created for it. Brain and judg-
ment, sinew and muscle, bone and
blood, were all of them given to you
to be thus used. Unused, they rust,
and wither and shrivel and decay.
Brought into active, healthful exer-
else, they bring happiness to you of
which the idle and listless man
knows not. Even the sleep of the
toiler has Il joy and rest that others
can imagine but never realize.
